Houdini Night in Hollywood, Sunday

This is a reminder that two of Houdini's silent films, The Man From Beyond and Terror Island, will screen as part of a special "Houdini Night" at the historic Egyptian Theater in Hollywood this Sunday, October 21, starting at 7:30pm.

The evening will also feature a multimedia presentation on Houdini by magician Mark Paskell, who will conclude his lecture by attempting to escape from a regulation straitjacket.

The Egyptian is located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028. For more information about the screening and to buy tickets in advance visit the American Cinematheque website.

I will be there and I'll post a full report on the evening.

UPDATE: Houdini gets the grindhouse treatment in Hollywood.
